Tyler Breeze vs Fandango
The King of Cuteville and the Lord of Dance opened Fastlane with a big grudge match, as the former tag team partners went at it. Fandango wasted little time attacking Tyler Breeze, who seemed taken aback. It was Fandango who was in complete control for a good portion of the match, out-wrestling Breeze. The Ballroom Brawler looked several times for the Last Dance leg drop, but the former WWE Champion had it scouted. What he didn't see coming was a vicious DDT on the apron, as Fandango pulled out all the stops. Although the move did a lot of damage, it failed to put Breeze away, and Prince Pretty rallied for a Beauty Shot and the win.
Winner: Tyler Breeze
Itami and Balor(c) vs #DIY- World Tag Team Title Match
This was scheduled to be a big title match, but as the challengers were making their way to the ring, they were ambushed by the sinister Wyatt Family. Luke Harper and Erick Rowan beat the tar out of Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, while Bray Wyatt looked on. Officials swarmed the area, trying to get the situation under control, and any scheduled match was out the window.
Baron Corbin(c) vs Randy Orton- Intercontinental Title Match
The Lone Wolf is a dominant foe, but came into this match not at 100 percent, after being choked out on the last episode of SmackDown. It soon became clear that Baron Corbin was hurt, and The Viper capitalized. Orton picked the champion apart with slow, deliberate offense, not taking any chances. Corbin did his best to fight back, connecting with a Deep Six and looking for an End of Days. However, Braun Strowman got involved, distracting Corbin and allowing Orton to recover and connect with a RKO to win the Intercontinental Title for the first time.
After the match, the Apex Predator wasn't finished. He sent a vicious message to the rest of SmackDown with a vicious punt kick, that may have set the Lone Wolf on the shelf.
Winner and the NEW Intercontinental Champion: Randy Orton
Mark Henry vs Brock Lesnar
This had all the making of a good old-fashioned fight, with two of the meanest, nastiest most powerful members of the Raw roster going head-to-head. It certainly didn't disappoint, as Brock Lesnar and Mark Henry tore the house down in Denver. The leader of the Hall of Pain made his target clear early on, as he went after the ribs and midsection of Lesnar time and time again. Brock, for his part, went after the skull of Henry, opening the big man up with rights and lefts. A little thing like blood wasn't about to slow Mark Henry down, as he connected on a World's Strongest Slam. Lesnar powered out at two, but walked straight into another, and somehow kicked out again. The World's Strongest Man was shocked at Lesnar's resilience, and was taken to Suplex City. Henry targeted the ribs to escape a F-5 attempt, and connected on a third World's Strongest Slam. For a third time, Brock Lesnar kicked out. The Beast Incarnate just had something about him on this night, and finally connected on a F-5 to put Mark Henry away.
Winner: Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar may well be superhuman, which is not good news for the rest of the Raw roster. Tune in tomorrow for Part 2, where the main event of WrestleMania will be decided.
